Saturday's UFC 269 event in Las Vegas will be the promotion's final pay-per-view of a very successful 2021, and the event's headliner is befitting of the occasion. The card will be topped by an incredible lightweight title fight between two of the most battle-tested veterans in the division: champion Charles "Do Bronx" Oliveira (31-8) and challenger Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier (28-6).
The 32-year old Oliveira's 39-fight career dates back to 2008. The Brazilian reached the UFC in 2010 and has gone 19-8 across the featherweight and lightweight divisions in the time since, defeating the likes of Hatsu Hioki, Jeremy Stephens, Myles Jury, Clay Guida, Jim Miller, Kevin Lee and Tony Ferguson.
